Ravens land 'freak' defender in latest mock draft

The Ravens may be the team with the most questions surrounding what its roster will look like in 2023. However, Pro Football Focus has the team landing one of the draft's "biggest freaks" in its latest mock draft.

PFF has Baltimore selecting Clemson pass rusher Myles Murphy at pick No. 22 in the 2023 NFL Draft. "He is being billed as one of the biggest freaks in the draft class, and I've seen enough on tape to know he's got the goods to develop in the league," PFF writes.

Murphy didn't test at the NFL Combine outside of the bench press where he posted 25 reps, but the 21-year-old is still projected to be a first-round pick. 

It seems the Ravens would be a good fit as Murphy ranks as PFF's No. 22 overall prospect on its big board as well. He totaled 115 tackles, 17.5 sacks and five forced fumbles during his collegiate career.

Of course, this all depends on QB Lamar Jackson staying in Baltimore, but the team has shown no signs of interest in trading the 2019 NFL MVP.

If the Ravens can find a way to retain Jackson and land Murphy by the end of night one, it would certainly be a win after the rocky start to Baltimore's offseason.
